Democracy, Culture, And The Voice Of Poetry

  • Democracy, Culture, And The Voice Of Poetry
  • Attribution

    Robert Pinsky
  • Publication Details

    Book, Princeton University Press, 2002
  • Description

    One of the country’s most accomplished poets, Robert Pinsky served an unprecedented two terms as America’s Poet Laureate (1997-2000) and led the immensely popular multimedia Favorite Poem Project, which invited Americans to submit and read aloud their favorite poems. Pinsky draws on his experiences and on characteristically sharp and elegant observations of individual poems to argue that expecting poetry to compete with show business is to mistake its greatest democratic strength–its intimate, human scale–as a weakness.

  • Attribution

    Robert Pinsky

  • Description

    The Figured Wheel fully collects the first four books of poetry, as well as twenty-one new poems, by Robert Pinsky, the former U.S. Poet Laureate. New poems like “Avenue” and “The City Elegies” envision the urban landscape’s mysterious epitome of human pain and imagination, forces that recur in “Ginza Samba,” an astonishing history of the saxophone, and “Impossible to Tell,” a jazz-like work that intertwines elegy with both the Japanese custom of linking-poems and the American tradition of ethnic jokes.
